The "Shift from Kepware" is used to visually reduce the tree (shorten the name) of
the depth of tags in read mode.
For example: Tag = "opcua.test.tag1":
• "Shift from Kepware" = 1, the displayed tag name will be "test.tag1";
• "Shift from Kepware" = 2, the displayed tag name will be "tag1".
14
"Shift to Kepware" works in the same way as "Shift from Kepware" but for the tags
that will be exposed also in write mode.
